The readers of TIE MANITowoc

is at least one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure in all its stages,
aud that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease requires constitu-
tional Treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood aud mucus surfaces of the sys-

of the disease and giving the patient
strength, by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.

A Staircase Seven Miles Long.
.yapan letter to Chicago Times


From Nikko the pilgrims go eight miles I'D to
Lake Chnzenj where their sacred mountain
Nantaisan guards that lovely sheet of water.
They battle in the sacred waters, pass under q
grand tori on the waters edge, say their
prayers at temple and climb the mountain to
a lonely shrine at the top. The path to the
mountains summit is kept in order by the
temple guardians, who charge COO for every
climber, and the climber then has his name in
scrbed on woolen tablets In the temple grounds,
which is fame enough for his humble lifetime.
1t is seven miles to the summit and the path
instead of winding and zigzagging as noun
tain path generally does, pursues an air line
from the bottom to the top and is simply a
seven mile staircase, with steps regularly made
of sticks laid across and braced in. 1t is LII a
matter of lungs and knees to get up the noun
tain, and altogether a matter of the knees to
come down, and climbers feel weak and shaky
there for days after descending the seven mile
staircase. At Chinzenji there are long barracks
provided by the government, where the pilgrims
can lodge for few coppers each night, and
several tea-houses built at the edge of
the lake, with galleries overhanging the
water

Just the dropping of the acorns-one by one,
Or in soft showers of friendly twos and threes,
So silently they fall; the yellow smiling sun
Turns them all TO fairy gold.
Some between the rOcks-some weltnigh hid
Meath grass and rank green underground,
Their quiet hometill they are bid
Their task to enter ON. And from the earth
Where they have nestled close and warm,
They take new bright lite--another birth,
And soon reach UP brawny sturdy arm
Toward the sky, whence it receives
All sweet good gifts of rain and sun and dew.
There the birds build nests, the MOSES weave
The joyous sunshine struggles through
Its ample boughs. And yet later on,
When youth Is past and gray old age
Silvers its gnarled trunk and strips the green
And glory from its branches, wild winds wage
A fierce mad war, and lightnings vivid sheen
Plays with startling splendor all among
Its bare gray arms; reached with piteous pa
thence
Toward the far-off heaven.
And now it's mission is fulfilled,
Upon the fire the huge oak logs
Yield grateful warmth and crimson glow
That lights the faces gathered all around
The CHEEKY hearth. Some are speaking.
Some smiling, listen-other some
Choose silence, and with the mantle
OF introspection wrapped about them
See past the ashes white-far beyond
The live red embers' fiery glow
Dreaming their dreams. PATS.

Old Southern Homes.

A great many of the plantations in differ
emit parts of the South, which were once
well known for their size, the magniicence
of the residences upon them, the hospitality
of their owners or on account of the prOmi-
nence of the families which possessed them,
are now falling into ruins. The reason of
this is, perhaps, that the land has been
worked so long without being fortified that
it has become poor, or 1t may be that those
into whose possession they have passed lack
the energy and skill which are required to
make them pay under the present system of
labor
One of these famous old places, in Liberty
county, in this State, was lately sold to a
colored man for 81, 500 only part of the pur-
chase price being required at once. 1t is
known as Laurel View, and is within two
miles of the historic town of Sunbury. 1t
was the home of the gifted John Elliott. and
very beautiful home it was. John Elliott
represented Georgia in the United States
Senate from 1920 to 1896.
The plantation contains $500 acres. 1t
was purchased during the war of secession
by Hon. Linton Stephens, brother of Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens, and was sold to the
present owner by his heirs.
The district in which the plantation is
situated was noted, from the first settlement
of the State until the emancipation of the
slaves, for the intelligence and wealth of
its citizens. 1t is now, however, almost
wholly abandoned to the colored
people. It's great plantations have
been divided into small farms, and
the superb mansions, once the homes of
men noted for wealth and culture, and of
women famous for beatty and refinement,
are falling into decay, and are being re-
placed by cabins and huts, whose chimneys
of sticks and mud tell more plainly than
words of the marvellous change for the worse
which has taken place in the once rich and
prosperous district

A dead Ripe" Deacon.

For years the newspapers have contained
accounts of the green goods" Swindle, and
yet the swindlers have no difficulty, appa-
rently, in finding victims As a rule the
| victims are noted for avarice and ignor-
ance They may not be ignorant of the af-
fairs of their own neighborhoods, and may
be shrewd in managing their business mat
ters, but they are ignorant of what is
transpiring outside of their own immediate
sphere of action. They don't read either
the daily or weekly papers, and they would
as soon think of throwing their money away
as to spend it for books or magazines for
their families. They get very little salts
faction cut of life, and give little, if any,
pleasure to others.
The green goods" swindlers send out
drummers, just as the large business houses
do, who hunt up victims and send them to
New York to be relieved of their money.
One of these agents, few days ago, called
on Deacon lillian, who owns farm in Clay
county, Tennessee, and very soon interested
him in the 'green goods" business. The
deacon, besides being a leading man in the
little church in his township, is quite
wealthy, and has local repution as politi-
can After the agent had won his confidence
he pointed out to him that he could get
s., 200 of the green articles" for $500 by
going to New York and following his di.
rections The Deacon "bit" at once. He
carried some bank notes which the agent
assured him were very fair samples of the
"green goods" to the village bank, and
they were pronounced to be genuine, and SC
they were. The swindiers never have any
thing but genuine money, but their victims
never get any of it. They get
box of sawdust or waste paper. The
deacon went to New York and was met by
the men to whom the agent had directed
him, and to whom also the agent had writ
ten as follows: Pull his legs. He's dead
ripe He's very rank" And the avariciouc
and sanctimonious old deacon would have
been pulled" for a very handsome sum if q
couple of detectives who had been watching
the swindlers had not prevented them.
The deacon went back to his Tennessee
home wiser man, but not, perhaps, bet
ter one. The moral natures of such men
are not susceptible of much improvement.

About year ago, it will be remembered,
"A New Jerseyman, Mr.. George Hutchins,
died, leaving a will in which he provided
for his wife rather meagre maintenance,
and gave the great bulk of his property to
Henry George, to be used ''for the express
purpose of spreading light on social and
political liberty by means of gratuitous dis
tribution all over the land of said Georges
publications" Mr.. George at the time an
nounced the intention of resigning his
claim in favor of the widow, but after
eight or ten months reflection he has CON
cluded to withhold his resignation, and the
ether day he appeared in one of the New
Jersey courts stoutly contesting for the pos
session of the money. Mr.. Georges course
as a member of the anti-Poverty Society is
all that the name of that society implies.
He sees chance to get very nice plum
out of this crank's bequest, and since he is
not running for any Office, he does not see
that the Widow Hutchins should stand in
the way of the sale of his books.
